Le Clarence de Haut Brion 1992

Le Clarence de Haut Brion - Chateau Haut Brion

25 years

Medium dark ruby with a curranty/herbal bouquet, this 1992 is supple, medium-bodied, charming, and harmonious. It should drink well for 4-6 years. *** I continue to consume my 1989 Bahans Haut Brion with enormous pleasure. It is one of the two greatest second wines (the 1982 Forts de Latour is a noteworthy rival) that I have known. The 1992 is sweeter and riper than the 1991, with a lovely nose of minerals, tobacco, and black fruits. Supple, medium-bodied, charming, and harmonious, it should drink well for 4-6 years.
